Those who suffer from insomnia for years, it seems the main scourge, an insurmountable barrier to happiness. In fact, insomnia can be defeated, you just need to know how.
Medicines.
If you are taking any medication, whether it be painkillers, birth control or antiviral drugs, make sure that sleep disorders are not one of the possible side effects. If there is such a mention, consult a doctor to replace the drug with one that will rule out such an effect.
In the event that at the moment you do not take any medicine, it may be time to start. It is important not to prescribe yourself any sleeping pills. Help herbal medicines - tea with chamomile, tea with honey, decoction of the roots of valerian, oregano, hawthorn and sweet clover.
Food.
Critically review your diet. It is equally harmful to eat up before going to bed and go to bed hungry. Perhaps you are hampered by a feeling of heaviness or hunger. Take for a rule to have supper light, but nourishing food. Do not get carried away fried and fat, spicy and sweet. Replace the three-course dinner with a glass of warm milk with a biscuit, a piece of boiled fish with greens or fruit.
Bad habits.
It is known that smoking and alcohol are harmful. But not everyone knows that these addictions can seriously affect the quality of sleep. If you abuse cigarettes and alcohol, while experiencing difficulties with falling asleep, will have to choose between the natural needs of the organism and imposed. It is noticed that with a sharp restriction in the use of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes, there is a temporary insomnia. But, in case of excessive consumption, insomnia does not pass by itself, but only worsens.
In addition, do not drink strong tea and coffee before bed. Any stimulant will prevent you from falling asleep. To bad habits can be attributed excessive enthusiasm for computer games and TV . Not all films are capable of lulling, and most toys make us stay awake when the body already wants to rest. It is necessary to replace these hobbies for reading books before going to sleep, the movement of eyeballs calms and prepares the body for rest.
Sport.
Sport is useful only in cases where it does not prevent the body from resting. Every day we experience loads of physical and emotional loads. If you add to them also sports, they should be strictly dosed and do not interfere with rest. Do not go to the gym less than 3 hours before the time when you plan to go to bed.
If you like to go to the pool, but the time for it is only late at night, postpone the classes for the weekend, and before going to bed, take a warm bath with herbal decoctions.
Violation of the regime of the day.
This is the most common cause of insomnia. Modern life does not always allow us to fall asleep with the onset of darkness, at night more and more entertainment and opportunities to spend time only for themselves. We succumb to this temptation and, as a result, we pay with health. If you are sure that the cause of insomnia is constant malfunctioning in the mode of the day, you will need time to put everything back into place.
It's great if you have the opportunity to take a vacation for a couple of weeks. During these days, simply shift the time to bed for three hours. Suppose you went to bed at 4 am. Next day, lie down at 7, then at 10 and so on until you reach the "11 pm" mark. Try to stick to one time, then there will be no difficulties with falling asleep.
If you can not solve the problem on your own, do not pull it and do not expect a miraculous cure. Chronic insomnia can lead to various disorders of the body and the development of diseases. Visit the doctor and take other measures to return you to the world of sleeping people. The main thing is to be sure that insomnia is not a sentence.
